Typical Saturday night with each Halo: Halo 3: trying to flip mammoths Halo 4: building giant bases and angering friends by repeatedly baking lights H2A: making a maze of doors Halo 5: building weird and wacky vehicles by welding a bunch of random objects to a mongoose Halo Reach: haha grid go weeeeee

Halo 5’s forge was revolutionary for halo I can’t wait to see what halo infinite does

[@seereebee]

I feel like it's worth mentioning that H2A's Forge got rid of the budget and replaced it with an object count. In previous titles, certain objects would consume more of the budget than others. This could sometimes make it harder to create larger scale maps. But in H2A each object is just worth 1 on the object count. It's a small change that goes a long way. Also I hope for Halo Infinite they bring back pre-made objects and structures. Having a large selection of primitives is great, but also having those pre-made objects makes the system much easier to learn and get a hold of.

The Tik Tok effect has conditioned people to watch shorter videos, to have the quick spikes of dopamine. The short-format videos in which Tik Tok possesses are a perfect thirst-quencher for this type of reaction. However, essay videos such as SameToken's are long-format which doesn't satisfy most users. Most people get bored of it, unfortunately. I'm not asking SameToken to change his ways, I'm merely analyzing why he is underrated. His videos are the most in-depth Halo videos I have ever seen. They are the most well-put-together, well-structured videos I have ever seen, not to mention his voice fitting his style perfectly. Please, keep doing what you're doing!

[@SkywardShoe]

The level of quality of H5 forge maps is leagues higher than those from any other title. The object variety, the detail, the ability to place and move objects precisely, and everything else has led to maps that completely blow past forge maps out of the water. Whether you like playing H5 multiplayer or not, these maps are the best in the franchise. It is more difficult to learn Halo 5's forge controls, but the payoff has been substantial when you look at what has been created using it. I appreciate that people had fun messing around in the old forges, but this tool is an editor first and foremost. Its purpose is to create fantastic content to be played in custom games and even matchmaking for the best of the best. Forge World was a fun canvas to run around in and add things on top of, but if you're looking to make a serious map a blank canvas with extensive tools and objects is what works best. And there are still other canvases in H5, Alpine and Glacier both provide some interesting terrain to work off of if you want a starting point. The transformation of Forge from a toy to play with to a tool to design with is just the mode fulfilling its intended purpose better and better over time.

[@spartan117zm]

That’s a fair point, but also I think Reach’s forge was just such a great balance of both modes. If you knew what you were doing, it was a very powerful tool, but it was also fun to just pick up and play with friends to have a good time with, as Sam mentions. I think Halo 5’s forge would be better if it had two split controller modes; being able to toggle between simple and complex controls, so that pros could still make the good stuff, or you could still just jump in to have fun.

[@theXEN0KID]

Bro H5 maps look like roblox. Idk how anyone can say the quality is higher than *ANY* other title, ESPECIALLY when you go on to specify "The object variety, the detail." I mean, if you stand by your stance I respect that but I just can't see where you're coming from, and I've seen this argument in other places too. I just don't get it.

Combining the age bracket of this fanbase, and the average age bracket of reach itself. I think reach is where forge took off super well because of two things. 1. The player base was huge, and was engaged. 2. Reach was I think the first forge where things really seemed.... Not necessarily "refined" but complete.

There were some really cool atmospheric ones with immersive environmental storytelling. Obstacle course maps were also awesome, enhanced by Halo 5's Spartan Abilities, which you had to sometimes use with great precision to overcome a specific part. Loved those.

On the subject on what I'd love for Halo Infinite Forge, AI placement. I feel being able to place various different AI like Spartans, Elites, Grunts, basically any type of enemy or ally in the game would be good, imagine Team Based Custom Games with AI team mates assisting you, or even something on a similar scale go an actual campaign mission (minus the dialogue or cutscenes) made in forge.

I remember in halo 3 spawning a radio tower and spinning it around wildly like a giant sawblade as my friends ran around trying not to get wacked into oblivion

1000th like baby! Lol But seriously, this video has rekindled my passion for forge and makes me excited for the ever changing experience that is forge and the forging community. :)

11:00 okay that transition was pretty sweet.

some of my best memories as a kid are from playing halo 3 forge with my friend all day

I personally like halo reach forge because it’s fun and easy to use whilst simultaneously being super understandable and I have a sense of comfort when going on it knowing that I’ve learnt all of forges limits in halo reach, however, halo 5 forge is currently seen as the best for the amount of tools you are given to edit your map for example, I could spend 1-3 days and I could turn Alpine into a massive military base with cave systems but this is conflicting for I’m used to all of halo 5’s tools and objects being so advanced and if I’m playing original forge modes this is conflicting because of the different controls and the limited resources compared to newer forge.

You posted this video on my birthday, also I like your voice

Awesome video, I thought that forge was really complex, but after this I might give it a try.

Halo Infinite's Forge just needs to have 2 modes: Classic Mode: controls are just like Halo 3/Reach, with same menu system and actual control of movement in forge mode (keep it where you move around the object, that's nice). If you want any advanced features, you just go into an "advanced" menu. Modern Mode: basically Halo 5's movement and control scheme, with all of the advanced controls, options and menus more readily available. This way, a n00b can hop into forge and have a fun, familiar experience with a short learning curve and can have a blast spawning tanks and quickly moving weapons around in a map, but the pros who want to build fully scripted custom maps can also do their thing.

I would love to see AI in forge in halo infinite. That would take forge to a whole new level.
